Norvasc (amlodipine) at 18 years: Norvasc (amlodipine) does not harm development. It treats hypertension and prolongs one's life by doing so. Take it with no worries. You do have a problem, hbp at the age of 18. Ask your doctor to see if you have secondary hypertension (s). This may be caused by a renal artery stenosis due to a conn's syndrome being present, among others. If you do have s and it is treated, you may be able to stop meds.
